A man in his 30s faces trial for possession and production of narcotics after police uncovered an advanced cannabis grow in a row house in eastern Malmö. The operation was discovered when the man's partner found suspected cannabis in the garage and alerted authorities. Police seized over 930 grams of cannabis and professional-grade equipment.
In Riseberga, eastern Malmö, an advanced cannabis cultivation setup hid behind a locked door in a neat row house. The man's partner discovered jars of suspected cannabis and hash in the garage while preparing to move out and called the police. A special search dog alerted to black trash bags and a locked room used as the man's private office during the search. Inside, officers found three grow tents, fans, ventilation filters, powerful LED lamps, and 50-liter bags of special soil. They seized over 930 grams of cannabis, more than 10 grams of cannabis resin, and a small amount of THC powder. The man, a janitor in another municipality, faces charges for serious narcotics offenses. He calls it a failed experiment to produce legal cannabis oil for personal use. “I didn’t think it would be illegal,” he said in questioning. He claims he bought THC-free seeds and was about to dispose of everything just before police arrived. However, evidence from his phone includes chats boasting of being “one of Sweden’s top growers who can produce several kilos.” Another message discusses profits: “Four flowers give me 75 thousand.” Photos show seeds from strains like “Royal Domina” and “OG Kush,” known for high potency. The partner testified that he kept the room locked and asked her to translate English chats. The man denies any sales, insisting it was for personal use. The prosecutor seeks forfeiture of the equipment and drugs.
